I have always been a huge fan of Redshift, which extends to Anurag Gupta and the team that delivered it. Redshift has always struck me as one of the real breakthrough products the history of analytic databases. It collapsed deploying data warehouses from months to about 20 minutes.
It's great to see the current team is on the move again, as the original ParAccel architecture did not scale very well. There was an excellent talk on Redshift in Andy Pavlo's Vaccination Database Tech Talks, 2nd Dose. [0] It's by Ippokratis Pandis and worth a view. It covers a lot of the recent improvements, which are likely to disappoint the many critics who have counted Redshift out. (Prematurely in my opinion.)
